There are few cities in India as traditionally Hindu and as symbolic of the whole of Hindu culture as Banaras. In this eloquent, finely observed study, Diana Eck shows how the city over the centuries has become a lens through which the Hindu vision of the…

Description: Includes a section of photo plates. Abbas Kiarostami remains the most influential film-maker of post-revolutionary Iran and has produced a body of work that is as rooted in his native land as it is universal in appeal. Cinema historian Alberto Elena uses Iranian sources wherever possible to frame Kiarostami's oeuvre within the context of the rich artistic and intellectual Persian tradition that has nurtured the director. He examines his blending of fiction and reality and his recurring themes of death, meaning in life, isolation, solidarity and the lives of women. The result is a retrospective that reveals exactly how this most Iranian of directors has come to assume a place in the pantheon of international cinema.''
